Knowing that, he couldn’t really even juke to get out of the way of big hits. He may have only averaged 11 runs per game, but that’s twice as much as 2011, and two concussions less. (2x as many rec too, so 4x the hits taken)

Turf toe.

He averaged under 11 attempts a game. That isn’t a good thing for where they drafted him.

When teams ignored the run, he made them pay.

But yeah – like everyone else I’m a little worried about his long term health.

With the size and speed of modern players, the NFL needs to completely rethink and reengineer all of their the head and body armor.

You are a very good player, but there is life after football.

I understand the severity of Bests college concussion, and I understand the issues with the NFL and there concussion lawsuit, but none of us knows how bad this kid really is, so if doctors clear the kid I say it’s on them if he has permanent brain problems.

Best should retire, collect on his applicable insurance policies and enjoy all the cognitive years he can before the long-term effects of his concusssions kick in.

I’m a lions fan and I love watching best play, but honestly I’m scared for him. Really hoping this doesn’t backfire for him and his family…..

They ought to just Frankenstein those MF’ers up.

I am pretty sure you can com up with enough working parts from all three to make one RB.

With as many lawsuits as there is on this topic I am shocked that the NFL as a hole would not intervene and say no way will we clear him for field duty ever again.
